Stand and tureen are crazed with a little discolouration the latter mainly inside. The stand also has a hairline running from the handle. The tureen also has some loss of glaze to one handle and inside a couple of manufacturing faults. The lid has a little loss of glaze to the finial and underneath a small manufacturing fault, a couple of small chips and a little pitting to the inner rim. None of these defects really detract from an absolutely fabulous set.
